Yeah, I don't know much about political campaigns, but your reactions as someone who does don't surprise me. It felt to me too like that wasn't where the research budget was spent. (It was instead spent on the way computer technology works, for once, which I greatly appreciated, since I got through the book without wanting to strangle anyone. Also, Buffy acts like an actual person who is a computer security expert, which is pretty damn close to the first time I've ever seen that happen in a book, so yeah.)
You sum up quite well why I didn't give it a 10. And on the emotional reaction, yes, that's why I gave it a 9. It contains something close to a perfect fictional moment.
I'm really glad to hear that the disability stuff wasn't bad. I didn't have any way of judging it, but I was hoping, because it seemed okay, and that makes me very happy.
